We have addressed the needs of epileptic patients and healthcare professionals, aiming at the design and development of a non-intrusive personal health system for the monitoring and analysis of epilepsy-relevant multi-parametric data and the documentation of the epilepsy related symptoms. Specifically, we investigated the classification of epileptic and non-epileptic events from EEG based on temporal and spectral analysis and different fusion schemes [9]. We also studied the EEG brain activity during whole night sleep, since sleep is recognized as a major precipitator of epileptic activity [12].
